They're still putting out the 720p displays. Maybe he got one of those? Joe Heaton ITB - Enterprise Server Support

It is possible to buy them with lower than 1080p (1920 x 1080) native panel resolution - if you bought such a thing, that's the problem. If the TV has a 1080p panel, did you insure that the computer display resolution is set to 1980 x 1080? Another fuzzy-display problem is underscanning by the computer's display driver. If the Windows desktop doesn't fill the TV screen right to the edges, you have that problem and need to look for an under/over-scan setting in the control panel for the display adapter.

So one of my home machines is my Media Center PC where I use it as a PC and a DVR. Have a 20" LCD hooked up to it and a regular 27" television (boat anchor). Have been wanting to get rid of the boat anchor for a while and since the price of low end 32" HDTV's have come down so far, I figured I'd just replace both with a 32" HDTV. Got a low end video card that has HDMI out, and I thought I was all set. Hooked the whole thing up last night and was very disappointed in the resolution. Even with the latest drivers. Then I read this: http://lifehacker.com/5884040/is-it-okay-to-use-an-hdtv-as-a-computer-monitor It had never really occurred to me that HDTVs run at a lower resolution than a monitor. So I think I'll keep the 32" and just use it as a 2nd monitor for watching TV, and hook the old 20" back up for day to day use. Ug.... once again my lack of planning rears its ugly head.
